Also a fair opinion which I think is a bad one as I believe Gio is still a very good top 4 D. Top pairing with the right partner (Tanev).
I'd prefer not to pay the 3rd to keep him, but it will cost more to replace him, so it might just be worth it.

Fair. My argument is simply to not spend any assets for 1 yr or less of value.
The division is so weak, we could downgrade Gaudreau and Gio and still make the playoffs. If firmly in a PO spot by TDL, go ahead and bolster the D if you need to.
Hanifin-Andersson
Valimaki-Tanev
Mackey-Stone
Kylington
Assuming we re-sign Stone he can still play more minutes than Valimaki. Tanev can still play the most minutes.
Maybe you sign a Del Zotto or something similar, too.
